WHAT IS FALL PREVENTION AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Do you have a loved one, parent, grandparent, resident or someone you care for who is at risk of falling?

Here are some typical causes of falls:

Slippery floors, walking with socks and slipping, vision issues, medications that makes people off balance, osteoporosis, lack of concentration, mobility issues


Many of these scenarios listed above happen on a daily basis for the average person. Most people have no issue handling them.  The focus here is with people who are at high risk of falling. As we age, our abilities to “right ourselves” when we are about to fall dissipate.

At one point or another we all fall in our life time but the complications from that fall become more severe as we get older. If someone falls and has a hip fracture, most people do not have the same quality of life afterwards; and unfortunately, up to 24% of the people with a hip fracture die within the first year, due to complications.

Hip fracture prevention with hip protectors has been around for many years but the most INNOVATIVE and REVOLUTIONARY hip protector is now here:


COMFIHIPS® is taking the hip fracture prevention market by storm!


The WOW factor:


Each pad weighs less than 25 potato chips yet absorbs up to 87.2% of the impact on a lateral fall!

We wear seat belts when riding in a car in case an accident occurs; why not wear streamline, comfortable undergarments with amazingly light pads over our hip bones in case we fall.


It’s always better to be safe than sorry!
